This is really quite worrying.It is unlikely that the plane will be competitive with US, Chinese or Russian fighters, so they obviously have other targets in mind. No doubt the planes will incorporate the British technology that we have given away as well. It looks as if France will lead on the fighter project, and Germany will lead on a battle tank project. The rise of populism in the EU is probably the greatest threats that its globalist masters face, so one can imagine that these new weapons are more likely to be used to maintain the subjugation of member states, than to protect against "foreign" attacks on the EU. I'm surprised that they aren't building battle cruisers, so that they can take control of the UK fishing waters by force when they lose the fishing rights there.
